The only significant repair was a piston that was burnt through due to a defective injector. I didn't inquire about records, but I'll bet they're meticulous.

*Asterisk. Engine opened-up for mechanical parts replacement(s). I was right......
We had two MB diesels well over 300K w/o any engine internals R&Red. But 1M>? 0-o skeptical.......
MB mileage badges? Any interior wear pics? Just wondering......?
RE: The guy that enquired about the odometer cable. I've never seen one that didn't break/fail. Our 240D's cable (we bought new) failed in the 300K range. Lord only knows how many miles were on the car driving it soo many more years after.
